Two dark horizontal bands on its flanks contrast sharply with the dominant red, blue, or purple hues, resembling a tropical warrior in armor. The upper and lower ends of its caudal fin extend into filaments, moving like a strummed harp when it swims, creating a dynamic, sculpted appearance alongside its dorsal fin spines. Its body color changes with its mood: a blue-purple halo when excited, and a red-yellow settling when at rest, truly a "living palette." It is listed alongside the "Four Great Brazilian Chiefs," satisfying aquarists' collecting habits for regional species, much like a rare stamp for a philatelist.
